The question I asked was straightforward, James. With this particular router, if you specify a 'filter' enabling access, like so (real life example)...
Device Name: HP098E07 MAC Address: 00:1F:33:3E:18:DA
... such that, when the device connects and is dynamically assigned a local IP address, can it then be addressed by other clients on the network by 'Device Name'? It isn't clear from the documentation whether or not this is supported.
Not mine. MAC filtering is only for wireless access, and has no name entries. It is this one: <http://www.seattlewireless.net/ComtrendCT-536+> However, mine does not give access to the shell console to issue Linux commands, like shown on that page. The firmware is customized for the Telefonica ISP. The documentation PDF is this one (Spanish): <http://www.movistar.es/rpmm/estaticos/residencial/fijo/banda-ancha-adsl/manuales/modem-router-inalambricos-adsl/manual-fabricante-comtrend-ct536+.pdf> I do have the English PDF, but I can't find a link to it at Comtrend. If you are that interested I can email it to you. However, some of the features described in the English manual do not exist in mine. For example it is already customized for my ISP, and thus you can not enter the ADSL config data. But is is not the only missing feature. I understand that I might flash it with alternate firmware, but that's not something I'll try unless I have a spare router in case I brick this one. - -- Cheers, Carlos E. R.
